Easy<\/em> and family<\/em> travel don\u2019t always go together. Traveling with kids usually means more planning, more logistics, and more things to think about. Strollers. Car seats. Backpacks. Snacks. You know the feeling of needing a vacation after the vacation? Fortunately for us, this wasn\u2019t that.<\/p>\n

Beaver Creek<\/a> is different. We already knew this from spending a few winters here, but I\u2019m going to say the quiet part out loud: Summer might be even better. Just 35 minutes from Eagle County Regional Airport, Beaver Creek is tucked into the Colorado Rockies and somehow manages to check every box for families: beautiful, easy, and full of things everyone will love.<\/p>\n

Why Beaver Creek Is One of the Best Summer Destinations for Families<\/h2>\n

The village is incredibly walkable, which means no car needed, something that makes such a difference when traveling with kids. Everything from restaurants, activities, coffee shops, the creek, the alpine playground, and the base of the mountain is just a short walk away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We loved the slower mornings, making spontaneous ice cream stops, and letting the girls play while we actually sat down and drank our coffee (while it was still hot). That never happens at home \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Where We Stayed: The Osprey Beaver Creek<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We stayed at The Osprey, a boutique hotel located in the heart of Beaver Creek Village and the best home base for our trip. The location made it easy to pop in and out of the village for coffee stops, a run around the village for the scavenger hunt, or walking to Creekside Park without turning it into an whole expedition. The hotel itself has that elevated yet cozy alpine feel I\u2019m always drawn to, and the pool was a chef\u2019s kiss<\/em> amenity for families after a full day outside.<\/p>\n

The Best Things to Do in Beaver Creek in Summer With Kids<\/h2>\n

Ride the Gondola + Have Lunch on the Mountain<\/h3>\n

One of my favorite parts of Beaver Creek was how easy it was to experience the mountain without a huge undertaking. We rode the gondola up and had lunch at Spruce Saddle Lodge where the views alone are worth the trip. The girls loved the ride and of course the chicken fingers at the top!<\/p>\n

Spend an Afternoon at the Summer Adventure Center<\/h3>\n

The Summer Adventure Center was located at the base of the mountain, and we did all of the amazing activities on repeat:<\/p>\n
